Spain, Norway, and Ireland have formally recognized a Palestinian state, aiming to support peace efforts between Israelis and Palestinians. This coordinated move by the three Western European nations has drawn sharp criticism from Israel, which is currently engaged in conflict in Gaza. Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz condemned the recognition, accusing Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez of complicity in anti-Israel sentiments. The recognition is seen as increasing international pressure on Israel to mitigate its military actions. The countries advocate for pre-1967 borders with Jerusalem as the capital of both Israel and Palestine, while acknowledging possible future border changes.
